Saffron heart with raisins soaked in glögg 😋

I don’t like the feeling of biting in a whole raisin in bread, so I asked my fantasy how to get the flavor without feeling the actual raisins? So, I soked raisins in glögg, for a cuple of days. Mixed them with sugar, melted butter and a little, little potato flour. The I rolled three layers of the saffron dough, shaped them as a ❤️ an between them I spread the mix with raisins. Brushed it with egg and then baked. And there I had my Chrismas saffron bread. Really tasty with the soked raisins flavor 😋

Tomorrow the thirtteenth of December, Lucia comes with her shimmering candles

It was just in time I baked my Swedish “lussekatter”. It’s like a bun flavored with saffron and it often has the shape of an S and a raisin in the rolling in on each side. At seven o’clock tomorrow morning, the traditional yearly Lucia celebration takes place. So before I go to work I’m enjoying the show on TV. And a must, is lussekatter, gingerbread and a cup of glögg. When I was still on I baked some saffron buns, filled with almond mass.

Have a nice evening 😃 /Majsan
